  • I’ve had this idea as well, and I definitely see some benefits though as stated in the thread by someone else, most admins would want to be on a groups instance and not a users instance and I’m not sure how to combat that. The thought that occurred to me was a lemmy federation compatible community only instance server that could augment the current thrediverse landscape. Essentially making it easier to spin up a community for your topic than it is to spin up a while new instance. It would still be easiest to just make a community on your main user instance but it would introduce a new difficulty level for communities to run separate without standing up a whole Lemmy instance.










  • It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

    I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

    There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.

    While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.
